Hay point bay

Nov 21, 1521

This is our first stop on our journey to the United states. We just restocked our water but we didnt get any more food. we believe it should only be 4 weeks or so before we arrive. So far no complications with the crew. Thats the way it needs to be if we want to reach our destination on time.

2nd month at sea

Dec 21, 1521

We are about a 10 days away from our second stop in Australia. My crew is already statrting to doubt my leadership of running this ship. Our food is very slim now as we are atleast a week and a half away from our destination. My men are eating a half a biscuit a day now and only small portions. The waves are still very still and we have had all good weather so far.

Port Douglass Australia

It has taken a little longer than originally planned but we are now we are in site of our first destination. Some of my men have already suffered a disease that makes there blood black. Its from eating rotten food and yellow water. Every night they have to take a nife and cut through there skin to cut out the blood.

After three days in Australia my latties and I are leaving we have restocked on food and supplies and we are continueing our journey to the united states. Now we are heading for the deadliest and most emportant part of our trip. we are most likely going to encounter bad weather and other pirates looking to attack anything in there way.

5th month at sea

Apr 21, 1522

Last night was one of the brutelist nights in me life. We go hit by one of the most trechorius storms of all time. Half of me latties didnt make it and the other be severly hurt. Our ship took a beating and land is nowhere to be found. Now we enter the most feared part of the sea. Pirates cove. This could very well be me last entry.

Port Elizabeth

May 1, 1522

No sign of trouble yet as we make our second to last stop. Me latties are still badly injured. Now some have gotten food poisioning from eating food that we found bugs in. Here in port elizabeth we are echanging food and getting our boat repaired. It shouldnt take that long tell we are back at sea. Here in port elizabeth is one of the largest ports at sea. Im glad we made it this far.

6th month out at sea

May 6, 1522

We have encountered pirates. My men tried to attack quick by jumping on to there ship but were severly out numbered. They were all shot right before my eyes and i just barely managed to get away. Now it is just me and I still have over a month to go at sea. Im not sure I will make it out alive. Its been a glorious adventure.

Port Orange

Jun 4, 1522

I cant belive it I made it i actually made it. It was long and brutal but after almost a year i made it nearly mostly around the world and reached the United States. There were alot of brave souls that went on this journey and I was the only one that came out.
